Full time at 5-days per week (London-based approx 3 times per week, travel to regional academies paid) Well Grounded is an award-winning social enterprise on a mission to transform lives through coffee. We run world-class specialty coffee training academies that create lasting opportunities — connecting people looking for work with careers in the coffee industry. Our commercial ventures don’t just support what we do — they amplify our impact, fuelling growth, expanding reach, and strengthening partnerships that make real change possible. We’re seeking a purpose-driven, creative marketing professional to join our team and help drive our mission as we scale nationally. “I came into Well Grounded believing I would gain the technical skills I needed to become a Barista, but I got so much more out of the programme than just that. I really feel like I gained so much in terms of my self-confidence, empowerment and resilience. The team made me feel incredibly valued for my own experience and supported on my journey into coffee. Taking the course at this very strange and difficult time in the world has also meant that I feel like I have a community and the resilience to make it through, and I am so grateful to have had Well Grounded in my life at this moment.” Ashley, Graduate What’s unique about Well Grounded?
